2014-11-10 PALESTINE: Telling Their Own Stories Illuminates Life Under Israeli Occupation

2014-11-10 PALESTINE: Telling Their Own Stories Illuminates Life Under Israeli Occupation
================
[via Truthout]
New book: "Palestine Speaks: Narratives of Life Under Occupation"
Malek and Hoke spent four years, 2010 to the summer of 2014, conducting more than 250 hours of interviews in the West Bank and Gaza and ultimately culled the material into 16 chapters. The range is broad and includes a Jewish Israeli who moved to the West Bank in solidarity with her Palestinian  friends and a middle-aged Palestinian professor who helped found the International Solidarity Movement. Their stories appear alongside those of homemakers, writers, teachers, artists, athletes, community activists and fishermen to give readers a picture of harrowing subjugation. Needless to say, the accounts are hard to read, painful in their matter-of-fact depiction of everyday oppression.
